abook2procmail
A simple script to generate procmail rules from abook based address books.
Usage
Generate an address book rule by running:
$ abook2procmail --procmailrc ~/.procmail/abook.rc
Then in the ~/.procmailrc, close to the top of the file, add the following
line:
INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmail/abook.rc
and enjoy e-mail from senders in the address book landing in the INBOX.
If there are multiple address books, one can use the --address-book option to
override the source and the --action option to override what to do with the
messages. If multiple rc files are generated, multiple includes will have to be
added into ~/.procmailrc.
To ensure that the filtering rules are up to date one can set up a periodic cron job (e.g. once a day) to regenerate the rc file.
